There is a consistent crash when incrementally compiling headers containing generated code.
The code for launching UHT accesses a property which is null when compiling with the UBT makefile.
Open the 4.17.0 editor from the launcher
Create a basic code project
Close the editor
Make any change to any header containing a UObject derived class (eg. <ProjectName>GameModeBase.h)
Compile
Observe that UBT crashes:
